Correct three answers:

B. John Adams

C. Thomas Jefferson

D. Benjamin Franklin


<u>Further information:</u>

While Rousseau and Locke were not founding fathers of the USA, they were important for their influence on the thinking of America's founding fathers.  According to an article on "Intellectual Influences on the Declaration of Independence" from Southern Methodist University:

  • <em>While the Declaration of Independence had many influences, the most notable was the influence of the Social Contract. The Social Contract is the agreement between the government and its citizens, and defines the rights of each party. John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau are most notable for the creation of the social contract political philosophy. </em>

In addition to the social contract theory pioneered by thinkers like Locke and Rousseau, America's founding fathers were influenced also by the political writing of Montesquieu, another European Enlightenment philosopher.   The "separation of powers" principle was an idea embedded into the US Constitution by our founding fathers, based on ideas introduced by Charles-Louis de Secondat, the Baron of Montesquieu, in his  important work of political theory called <em>The Spirit of the Laws</em>, published in 1748.

Nullification is the right answer.

Nullification is a legal provision in the constitution of the U.S, that asserts that a state has the power to nullify, or cancel, any central law which that state has deemed undemocratic with regard to the constitution of the United States. This theory of nullification is based on a belief that as creators of the Federal Government, the states have the ultimate authority to define the limits of the power of that government.

What is the main difference between the Justinian code and the natural rights of Thomas Jefferson ?
Helga [31]

Answer:

According to the Justinian Digest, natural law is that which nature has taught all living things: for this right is inherent not only to the human race, but to all animals that are born on land and in the sea, and birds; this includes a union of a man and a woman, which we call marriage; here also the offspring of children, here the upbringing. We see that animals, even wild ones, have knowledge of this right – Justinian stated.

At the same time, according to him, the right of peoples is that which is enjoyed by the peoples of mankind; one can easily understand its difference from natural law: the latter is common for all animals, and the former is only for humans (in their relations) among themselves.

The concept of natural law became common in the 17th century, during the formation of industrial civilization. The major thinkers of this time, and, after them, the enlighteners of the 17th century, called as natural the right to satisfy the basic needs of human, given to every person by nature itself. These natural rights primarily included the right to life and its preservation, to basic necessities of life, to protection from hostile encroachment.

Jefferson lists life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as a natural right. He claimed that all people are created equal.

In Digest, along with the concept of law (jus), the traditional concept of "justice" (justitia) is used, but it is interpreted as "justice" in the spirit of Christian morality. In Jefferson's interpretation of the problems of social equality of people, their inalienable rights to life and freedom, one can see the influence of Locke's ideas of bourgeois liberalism.
